Life without father

Hi Gail,
As I was reading life without father, I really agreed on the stats when children ages; two and half years old were given an option to chose whom to play with and they chose their fathers. I could relate to that choice because I was attached to my father as my protector and thats what children need-security/protection. I also agree that father's involvement is linked to improve verbal, problem-solving and academic achievement. Growing up as a child, my father was the one who helped me with homework that was emphasize in play manner which I preferred comparsion to my mother all stressed out and frustrated. Women do tend to get easily frustrated than men because I think women are constantly the caretakers of children while men become caretakers only when help is needed. So, I think it's really important to have both parents play a role in their childs life even if the parents are not cohabitating. That's it for now.
